Zirndorf (dpa / lby) – A fire in a garage and a roof truss in the Middle Franconian district of Fürth caused damage of around 250,000 euros. The fire broke out on Sunday morning in a garage in the Wintersdorf district of Zirndorf and then spread to the roof of the adjacent house, the police said.

According to initial investigations, a resident of the building was working on a car in the garage when flames suddenly erupted from the car. Another vehicle and a mobile home then caught fire. Nobody got hurt.

Because a gas line runs through the garage, the gas supply in the building had to be interrupted, according to the police.
